Digby, nobody is being made. The Board have and will try and maximise value using various anti takeover defenses, not least the Nancy Reagan classic defense. A buyer has clearly got Lansdowne onside to support their offer, the board stay unmoved.The buyer initiates proxy fight to change the board.
Excellent news. If there are more than one party, a bidding war next.

Urals me-old China.
Hope we aren't knotckout by the previous anti-takeover defence.

Agree Thick Tony, crystal clear, a hostile tender offer may soon arrive.Key clues:1.LTIP rules altered to fit a friendly deal, and make a hostile one far more expensive.2.largest shareholders, vote against reappointment of CEO and Chair.3.largest shareholders simultaneously increase holdings 4largest shareholder seeks a NON indy NED onto board5 board delays the formal appointment of new directorI agree Urals, the current board are resistant to an offer, hence buyers upped their game, instigated a proxy fight, via Lansdowne who no doubt are happy to accept, but need the board to recommend, current board won't."Proxy fight takeover" is beginning. Classic hostile takeover tactic.

Give us another laugh and post up the samimack report sarah. The 45b that the Kurds reckon they have how much of it has been found since the report was made public?

I wonder if it's just possible that Landsowne's action is a copy of an earlier event?

Digby,

You obviously don't understand the real workings of the KRG.

Have you never wondered why Gulf haven't made much progress in 4 years ???

OK then, Has to be an another operator for leverage.
DNO? and 1p again LOL!.

Fully aware of the strangle-hold.
But surely if he wants progress - how about sloshing over some off the £73m owed. That would pay for some more BOPD.

Good morning Yankee ConDog :)) Early start.

highlander7 I wouldn't expect many posters would be interested in your circumstances that you've posted up. Need I remind you that I sold thousands in the £2's and £3's and a lot of other high prices including trading the share when it reached the pennies. So I wouldn't use my situation in comparison to yours hoping to make you feel better about your massive errors and complete lack of understanding of what has and still continues behind the scenes.

Some of us remember that you believed Kozel a legend and that a failed ex postman supported the man all the way regularly inventing excuses in support of him. Your unstinting support based on the news that has been made available over the past few years not only explains how duplicitous you both are but also how little you really understand about the company you're invested in.

Wipeout, the sequel incoming?

NON INDEPENDENT NON EXEC, placed by LANSDOWNE And CEO and chairman voted against Going hostile.... 2. Proxy voteA proxy vote is the act of the acquirer company persuading existing shareholders to vote out the management of the target company so it will be easier to take over. For example, Company A could persuade shareholders of Company B to use their proxy votes to make changes to the company's board of directors. The goal of such a proxy vote is to remove the board members opposing the takeover and to install new board members who are more receptive to a change in ownership and who, therefore, will vote to approve the takeover

Another WZR situation perhaps?

[thicktony] 23/6/2020 11:33

Key clues:
1.LTIP rules altered to fit a friendly deal, and make a hostile one far more expensive.
2.largest shareholders, vote against reappointment of CEO and Chair.
3.largest shareholders simultaneously increase holdings 4largest shareholder seeks a NON indy NED onto board
5 board delays the formal appointment of new director
I agree Urals, the current board are resistant to an offer, hence buyers upped their game, instigated a proxy fight, via Lansdowne who no doubt are happy to accept, but need the board to recommend, current board won't.
"Proxy fight takeover" is beginning. Classic hostile takeover tactic.

I think I would be very hostile if I was being made to take this on.

How can a company be MADE to take on GKP?

Looks like it's about to get more expensive filling the station car.
